On this nippy day in October, I wanted comfort food. Kaya's Kitchen is a vegan restaurant that…read moreoffers excellent comfort food as well as some exciting seasonal specials. Upon perusing the menu, I ordered the classic Lentil Loaf. It came accompanied by mashed potatoes and perfectly seasoned sauteed vegetables on the side. Perfection. My better half ordered the Autumn Bowl special, which was equally spectacular. Our server, Tess, constantly checked in on us to ensure we had enough water and asked if we needed any additional items. I had mentioned I preferred extra gravy for my dish, and she made sure my lentil loaf had an abundance of gravy. Everything was exceptional, and it was obviously made with care and love in their kitchen. Their desserts are not made in-house, like their entrees, but they do curate them from a wonderful vegan bakery. From being warmly greeted, seeing familiar classics and new additions, everything was outstanding. The prices are still affordable and in today's economy, a stellar value.

We want to love it here, they have so many things going for them! When they're good, they're GREAT…read more When they're not... the cheese on the cheese fries is runny instead of thick, the ice cream is foamy instead of creamy, the sundaes are sloppy instead of luscious, and sandwiches randomly don't come with chips as they usually do. They're also always out of some menu items: mac and cheese, whipped cream, etc. Depending on who is working they'll either cheerily bring the food to your table (it's counter service) or just yell your name from inside. They also charge a 3% "dine service charge" with no explanation. I hope they can find some consistency because we really want to support this adorable place.

OCEAN GROVE: Dale and Dollops is a diner right on Main Ave. offering a full range of…read moreAmerican-style vegan options. Healthy and delicious, we enjoyed the tempeh Caesar salad, the chickpea tuna salad sandwich, and a milkshake. They are open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and you can also stop in for a smoothie, soft serve ice cream, ice cream sundae, and a milkshake! Order inside and they'll bring it out to you! Leashed dogs are allowed at the cute outdoor seating and you can people watch and enjoy the weather. A couple of tables on the porch are covered by the building and another couple are on the sidewalk. It is also very sunny, so make sure your dog is comfortable from the heat and sits in a shaded spot. We were told dogs are also allowed inside and when we took a peek,, it is such a fun space! There are old-school games, a Photo Booth, and has a bright and colorful design! 69 Main Avenue Ocean Grove, NJ 07756

I never should've cheated on Playa! Built my own bowl with acai, original granola, strawberries,…read morebanana, and nutella. Added chocolate plant protein. The delivery packaging was plain and the size of the bowl was smaller than I expected. But the taste is why I had to write this review. It was disgusting.. the fruit on top was bland and mushy, the acai was flavorless with way too much protein. Even the nutella was gross. Left me sick to my stomach and had to toss it. Definitely wouldn't recommend this place.

It is popular on a hot beach day so there usually is a line. We got the Nutella Açaí bowl and Coco Craze both of which were as expected.

I guess it depends on what time of day you order. This afternoon, I paid $20 for a nutella bowl that was mostly granola, a little bit of acai, and a few slices of fruit that tasted like perfume. Unfortunately, this seems to be a theme with most late day orders. If you want the best value, I highly recommend buying in the morning or trying a different location.
